Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented m. is, 191W.

Application filed October 28, 1914, Serial 1%.868945. Renewed December 27, 1916. Serial No.. 139,183.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MEYER G. Cormm'a citizen of the United States of America, and

a resident of New York, county and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrapping and Baling Fabrics, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof. w

My invention relates .to wrapping and baling fabrics and has for its object to provide an air-proof, water-proof and dust-- proof fabric which is particularly adapted to be 'usedinstead, of burlap, and has many advantages which burlap does not possess.

Burlap has been very largelyused for baling and wrapping purposes because it is strong and tough and may be sewed readily. It however, has the disadvantage of being neither dust-proof nor water-proof and tremendous quantities of goods have been damaged, with heavy losses to shippers and carriers on thisaccount; In order to protect them from dustgoods have frequently been wrapped first in paper and then in-burlap which involves considerable expense and time.

It has been aim to provide a wrapping fabric which shall possess the advantages and avoid the disadvantages of burlap and for convenience in, identification I {613631; to my improved fabric as antiburap. v Other objects and advantages of my invention will be set forth hereinafter, and in order thatmy invention may be thoroughly understood, I will now proceed to describe the same in the following specification, and then pointout the novel features thereof in appended claim.'

' Referring tothe drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bale wrapped with my improved fabric and illustrating its utility.

A sectional view of the fabric itself, draw on a large scale to bring out its construction, is shown in Fig. 2.

The bale 10 of Fig. 1 may contain cotton or some other material and is closely wrapped with antiburlap shown at 11.

With reference to both Figs. 1 and'2, the antiburlap consists of a tough, flexible sheet of paper 15 having on'its outer surface a coating 16 .of varnish ---or other suitable water-proof gum. Pasted to its inner surface is a sheet of relatively thin cloth 17 i known, the following may be mentioned: it.

may be easily and neatly cut; thus a great deal. of time may be saved in baling and wrapping, especially by manufacturing concerns which utilize tremendous quantities of wrapping material; The complete package can be easily marked on account ofv its smooth surface. The fabric can be manufactured in large quantities at small cost. The fabric may be utilized for making bags or sacks for coal, cement, coffee, potatoes and the like.

I am aware that, cloth and paper have been united but my improved fabric differs from those hitherto known in essential fea tures which particularly adapt it for the purpose for which it is intended and for which none of the fabrics of the prior art are adapted.

What I claim is: v

A baling and wrapping fabric composed of a relatively strong, flexible paper having a coating of varnish on its outer surface to render it water-proof, and a relatively thin cloth pasted to its inner surface, whereby it is water-proof and is also susceptible of being sewed and used like a coarse cloth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 23rd day of October, 1914, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
